Foxy Loxy...by Lu Vince

What a darling fox costume made by my dear daughter-in-law Lucy.

I can just see sweet Henry lost in his imagination as a fun fox.

What a good mum you are, Lu.

Meet Three of My Friends


These little fellows will make cute chocolate holders for Easter this year.

What do you think?


If I had taken a sideways shot you would see these little guys are on triangle folds which allows them to free stand, as well as hold a small chocolate at the back.

Oval punches; circle punch for eyes, feet, cheeks; scallop punch for feet and detail for chick and frog.

I think they are fun, and hope the grand children do as well.

Hey it worked !





Saw this style card on Inking Idaho and thought I'd give it a go. With a bit more tweeking I think it will work. Another little idea to keep in the back of my mind.

Flower Flurry



I'm just loving the Big Shot machine and the embossing folders.

How quick is it to 'tissy' up a card with a cute flower?

That's Different....


At Stamp Club, Beth showed us how to make herringbone cards.

I don't know what it is about cutting and pasting strips of paper that is so soothing, but I loved making these cards. Thanks Beth, and thank you Kirstin, again for the lovely paper selection.

Thanks a Bunch...



Thank you Kirstin for your box of Stampin' Up treats.

I hope you approve of the end results of those very cute DSPs you sent.

I especially love the Kiwi Kiss versions, but the Cherry Cobbler is pretty cute also.

So Sweet !


Valentines Day treats for family and friends.

As Valentines Day approaches I tell myself to buy a heart punch, and I still haven't, so this is my attempt to turn two ovals into hearts. I think they work as strawberry hearts....just.

Sea Shells by the Sea Shore....




I think I had a summer moment. Silly as Sydney hasn't really had a summer this year.


How could I make paper shells? A scallop punch for a scallop shell, of course.

Then a flower punch to create a starfish, add some well placed folds with sponged edges, and there you have it, a beach memento.

With a little more work I think this could work.
